Genetic imprinting in human evolution: the decisive role of maternal lineage.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Oct 1993

Hochberg A, DeGroot N, Rachmilewitz J, Gonik B

Abstract excerpt

The modern study of human evolution must take into account physical anthropology, which examines phenotypic expression, and molecular evolution, which examines genotypic change. Recent independent investigations have shown that the process of genetic imprinting, defined as parental-dependent transmission of genetic traits, plays a pivotal role in human evolution. We draw on data from various scientific...
